Tim on Tags
Tim Bray has a great post on tags. Some of the topics:
- technorati tags versus using dc:subject
- URIs for tags and rolling your own versus using someone else's
- tagging the html page (with link) versus other techniques which will include the tag in the feed entry
- the value of specifying a scheme to ground the meaning of a category / tag
plus some great closing questions, none of which I have answers for myself, except maybe why I think I need categories in Leonardo.
Here are two user stories I wrote on the Leonardo mailing list:
Story #1: Albert occasionally says some good things about FOO on his blog and Planet FOO is interested in aggregating them. However, they don't want to aggregate Albert's non-FOO posts so they'd like a feed just of his FOO topics.Story #2: Betty is working on a project and provides updates on her blog. She'd like to have a page that just contains the entries relating to this project.
